You're experiencing inconsistent speeds depending on the file type during your Ookla speed test. This can be due to various factors like network congestion, server load, or caching issues. Have you checked your internet connection stability or tried a different network? Also, ensure your device's drivers and software are up to date. If the problem persists, consider clearing your browser cache or trying a different browser.

It usually speeds up at first but then drops to an extremely slow pace. This issue hasn’t occurred before and no changes have been made.
You might be using a proxy, which can slow down file downloads. While browsers aren't fast for large transfers, your setup seems to be causing delays. If you prefer, I recommend using "Free Download Manager" on Windows (like IDM but free). You also mentioned Steam and Discord installs—downloads from these services typically run through CDNs that speed up uploads by connecting to the closest server. These tools often provide faster speeds because of their dedicated networks.
A file manager enhances download efficiency by breaking a large file into smaller segments. It can handle several connections (up to 16 in certain scenarios) and retrieves these parts simultaneously. Unlike web browsers that typically rely on one thread and one connection, a download manager supports multiple threads. This capability generally speeds up the process. On speedtest.net, you can choose between multi-threaded or single-threaded testing, with multi-threaded options usually offering better performance.
